对我而言，申请季结束了。漫长的等待与焦虑。曾担心自己没有offer要怎么面对过年亲朋的询问，曾为父亲每一次叹息而焦虑。。但终于，我不再需要纠结了。25号就收到了Offer，今天才挤出时间写总结-
首先爆BG：
720 106 985 211 本科新闻+经济学
一些比赛的国奖（电商项目），内资投行+内资小咨询实习+大国企（PR实习）+sales经历+海外志愿者经历。无paper，无SCM相关经验。土鳖一个。Olin的offer实在让我太过惊讶，因为我的BG不强，且没有SCM经历，本科也不是相关专业的。所以我将我的胜利归结为PS+面试。
首先PS
Olin的PS应该是我到目前为止写出的最完美的一篇，代表着学渣楼主目前最优秀的英语写作能力了。。因为真的很喜欢这个项目，所以我看了一些SCM的书之后才写的。比如《供应链管理：利丰集团的管理实践》、论文还有一些微博上的评论，然后了解SCM的trend才开始写的。另外我反复强调了我为什么要读SCM，因为我为这种organize和control的活着迷。另外，我也详细的说明了我如何建model解决问题的。毕竟做项目做了一年，有挺多感悟。
然后面试
Olin一共有两轮面试。第一轮video,题库总结如下：

第二轮面试
感觉olin的面试比较freestyle，最关键的是要证明我真的很喜欢你们的program，以及我虽然是炒鸡优秀的孩子，但是通过你们我还能在XX方面提高吗，只要加入olin，我感觉我马上就能出任CEO当上总经理迎娶白富美走上人生巅峰。根据这个思路来准备。千万别念essay和CV，面试官都看过了
我跟面试官laura聊了40多分钟。全程信号非常好，无delay。最后我问她我能不能用10分钟强调一些东西。然后我激情澎湃的演说了每段经历都是宝贵的只要能够学到东西（楼主大学英语辩论的激情都用上了- -）。我从来不觉得我学新闻是弱势，相反我采访过很多人，我对社会的认知比他人成熟多了blahblah个人称述了好久。。
感觉olin真的很open minded（但是真的好喜欢有国际交流背景的学生- -!）只要show出你的passion和determination，用心写essay，用心把自己的激情在面试中表现出来，你可以的。

最后再说说申请的心态问题：
楼主的申请策略是先申请最好的，在申请保底的，这样好offer来了后面的就不用申请了，悲剧了，还有保底，不会因为占位费等问题烦恼。比如CUHK，我已经是第三轮申请他把他当备胎了，但是他神一样的录取速度和7w港币的占位费让楼主毫不犹豫的拒了他。。
这个申请策略的好处在于省钱、让保底学校发挥作用。不好之处在于，开头被大牛拒成狗，一无所有，而周围的小伙伴都在拿offer，所以很是焦虑。楼主早早的就连续被哥大、UTA，HEC这些个大牛拒。得蒙很多CD朋友的帮助，特此谢谢鹿君、Owen、随风、桶桶、14爷、骚骚的杜克、亲爱的missme小姐、联想等同学啊还有浪浪的炒鸡好的才子蜀黍啦哦还有喜爱自黑的theo同学嗯女神沙拉姐姐太多的thx不一一说粗来了，虽然我最后没有选择MKT，但是认识你们是幸运的，MKT群真有爱呢，希望还能去米国面基哈哈。楼主偏题了。。其实现在想当时的焦虑没有太大的意义，因为一点作用都没有还乱了自己的节奏，不如踏踏实实的做好自己的事情。也许以后求职更需要这种心态
if you chose a job you love, you never work a day in your life.大概就这样吧，希望大家都能去dreamschool，未来能够做自己喜欢的事情。
